The Edge York - ClickBrick®

The ClickBrick® range is a brick alternative to cladding systems. These special extruded bricks are custom milled and grooved to size, resulting in the size, with a tolerance of less than +/- 0.1 mm. ClickBrick was chosen for this project as the architect wanted to create a brick texture, that didn’t require mortar joints and allowed for a ‘seamless’ aesthetic finish. Many systems including cladding using brick slips were considered but ClickBrick simplified the construction process, created the above finishes and allowed the use of multiple colours without the risk of size difference.
